ARC Summer 2021 “Volunteer Onboarding and Training: The Beginning

ARC Summer 2021 “Volunteer Onboarding and Training: The Beginning of Lifelong Engagement” June 22, 2021

ALUMNI RELATIONS COUNCIL The Alumni Association of the University of Michigan formed the Alumni Relations Council (ARC) for alumni engagement professionals to discover and share transformative alumni engagement ideas, research and strategies. Alumni Relations Council events bring national experts and University thought leaders to share the latest thinking on high-impact strategies, while smaller working meetings facilitate workshopping ideas with peers. It is our goal that attendees walk away with increased expertise, networks, and knowledge that enhance university work and alumni connections within units and across the University.
